Stags’ Leap Wine Dinner
On April 22nd, I will be hosting a four course plus reception dinner here at the Oceanaire. Each course will be paired with a phenomenal Stag’s Leap wine. We will start with the 2007 Chardonnay. This full bodied dry chardonnay boasts flavors of fresh citrus fruits as well as floral accents. We will then be moving on to the 2006 merlot. This soft tannin full bodied merlot has hints of cherries as well as cassis with a little smoky overtone. The third wine is the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is a very big wine containing flavors of caramel and mocha amongst others. The cabernet has a large amount of tannins and hangs around with you for a great finish. Finally we will be serving (my personal favorite out of the 4) the 2006 Petite Syrah. Again, another huge wine! There are so many flavors going on in this wine to include Blackberries and other dark fruits along with hints of anise. This wine has a very smooth berry finish. I will be doing a tasting with the tentative menu, and will post the results of that tasting soon. The cost on the dinner will be $75 per person, not inclusive of tax or gratuity. I look forward to seeing a great crowd as usual.
